I got this hoping I’ll actually enjoy games I’ve had in my library for years and now I don’t even know where to start. And on top of that all the emulator options for nostalgic games and current sales for remake/remasters/GotY editions.

Pure choice paralysis. 😅

Any recommendations would be awesome. I love RPGs, things like Baldur’s Gate 3. Tried it on SD for a few hours and could not get used to the controls after putting in 200+ hours on KB/M.

    I thoroughly enjoy Baba Is You. Not because it’s improved by the controls, but because it’s a game I like to pick up for one or two levels and then put away again. Ideal for short breaks, and I just don’t play like that on my Pc.

    I also quite enjoy replaying the old Lego Harry Potter games (1-4 & 5-7). Bit of nostalgia for me.

    And Stardew Valley is a favourite around here for a reason.

    I’m also considering picking up Cyberpunk 2077, Monster Hunter World, Hogwarts Legacy, or Marvels Spiderman Remastered. Not sure though as I’m already spending quite a bit on peripherals for my Deck, and it’s quickly becoming a very expensive hobby to maintain! And if you’re into Emulation: That whole side is awesome too. If you haven’t, check out Renegade Platinum, it’s by far my favourite Pokemon hack that remains true to the original game while also substantially improving upon it. Having a fast forward button while being on a handheld is a godsend for Pokemon too! Before that I played on a modded 2DS and while that was great too, the lack of speedup could be pretty annoying when grinding. If you’re more oldschool, Emerald Elite Redux is a hard but great romhack too!

    Portal 2 is my fav on SD so far. Not very long, entertaining, fun puzzles, good dialogue, great with controller. Checks all the boxes for an unboxing game.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is my favorite gaming experience on the Deck so far.

    Feel like most games have been made better because of quick suspend and resume. I’ve been playing a lot more games becuase I can pick up the sd and jump right into a game.
